How an artificial dust layer could help fight climate change
Event Information
About this event
The fight against climate change has had two fronts: the effort to transition away from polluting fossil fuels, and the effort to adapt to a changing climate to limit the impacts on people and ecosystems. New research suggests that a third way we could fight climate change would be to artificially cool the Earth, an idea known as climate intervention. In this lecture, Dr. Peter Irvine, a lecturer in climate science at UCL, will explain the science of climate intervention and the ethical issues this idea raises.
Organiser Bloomsbury Festival
Organiser of How an artificial dust layer could help fight climate change
Local, global, inspiring - Bloomsbury Festival is a unique event created with over 100 partners in this vibrant cultural quarter. For ten days in October, the streets, parks, museums, galleries, laboratories and public and private buildings of Bloomsbury will host up to 150 original events which attract audiences from across London and beyond.
A hotbed of creativity and pioneering development, Bloomsbury also has one of the youngest and most diverse residential populations in the country. Bloomsbury Festival acts as a catalyst bringing together the area's artists, scientists and residents to explore arts and ideas through the prism of an annual theme.
Outside the Festival event, the organisation delivers community engagement and arts development projects across the year. These include it’s pioneering project, Festival in a Box, which takes artists into the homes of people living with dementia to provide life enhancing and joyful cultural experiences.
Above all, Bloomsbury Festival aims to be enlivening, engaging, entertaining, and fun!
Bloomsbury Festival is a charity. Find out how you can support us.
